I will look into that.
But why is my gas tank only taking 16 litres instead of 20?

You could also check your spark plugs real quick to see if they are black and sooty

Nope. Use your manual to find air filter removal instructions and pull it out and see if it’s dirty. If it’s stock air filter might have to order a new one

I’ll look online to see where I can buy a new filter.

If your bike has a stock air filter then you will have to purchase an oem filter. If your bike has an aftermarket replacement air filter such as a k&n filter you’d just need to clean and oil it. If your bike isn’t tuned for an aftermarket air filter and you decide to put an aftermarket filter you’ll likely have to enrich the fuel mixture
Check if it’s dirty and looks clogged before buying anything

Don't forget about reserve which is usually a few liters. Also filling a tank with bike leaned over on side stand will hold slightly less then a straight up.I will look into that.

Will do for sure. Where is the air filter located? Sorry, I don’t have any clue about my motorcycle.

Check if the plugs are black and the filter is dirty first. If it is you can order one using snow city’s parts finder

This, when I read 16.5L filling a 20L tank that was my thought, however apparently the vulcan 900 don't have a reserve tank so that's not the case.Don't forget about reserve which is usually a few liters.
Almost hate to ask this but did he also fit it with loud pipes and change the fuelling to suit them?Hello once again! Hope you guys enjoyed the beautiful weather today!![]()
Alright, so I bought my 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom last month. It had 28,518 kms to be precise. The last owner had put fuel stabilizer in it for winter storage.

Unusual smell of gas around the bike? Did the previous owner have the tank off and not connect it back properly? I don’t know what the fuel connectors are like on the Vulcan but some bikes are primitive push fit and some have reasonably intricate “click” connectors with various valves etc. If there was an issue with this you’d smell gas with the bike parked or see fluid on bike parts or the ground.
What volume of fuel in the tank was from last year? The old fuel would have very little octane energy left in it, performance from old fuel will be pitiful.
btw: your electric fuel pump relies on the fuel reserves for cooling, is not a great idea to run with very little fuel in your tank on a regular basis.
